News, but not the serious kind

A brief glimpse: the drastic elastic outfit

This young man is trying a new strategy for getting through airport security quickly. ”There is no way they can slow me down,” he explains. ”There’s nothing else they can ask me to take off.”

Of course, the joke is on him. Little does he know that airport security is profiling guys wearing tighty-whities this month, and he should have chosen boxers.

But seriously, this dude is a real model appearing at Bucharest Fashion Week. Nobody sees anything a little strange about an outfit consisting of glasses, a bowling bag and underpants? Is he carrying his belongings in the bag because he doesn’t trust the other models backstage, or what? All observations are welcome via Post a Comment.

This is a great idea. Plus, anyone with a body like THAT can wear whatever (or as little) as he wants!

That looks like a bowling ball bag to me, which makes me wonder if the designer wasn’t making a sly visual pun.

Well, yes, Erin, the model is clearly deformed, having been born without character-building flab.

Since the “Is that a bowling ball or are you just happy to see me?” card has already been played, I’ll ask the other obvious question:

Is this the Blog Guy after paying his taxes this year?

Bowling shoes. In the bag. Bowling ball. In the bag. Glasses. On. And yet, it feels like I’m forgetting something.

The ladies in the crowd were heard to whisper hoarsly, “Thong you. Thong you very much.”

Move along, ladies. Nothing to see here. At least, very little.

I’ll take “Me after about $30,000.00 in lipo” for $600, Alex.
